My crib: I firmly believe htat Christmas, feast of the peace, is more than just a moment of magical atmosphere and that is why I make every effort to give my figures a dashing appearance. The spiritual content of my sculpted works is conveyed by the distinctive traits of spontaneity of my caracters, by their positive attitude towards earthly life. The exalted state of feeling inspired by the Nativity is suggested by the expressive motions of their hands and by theris gestures. Their astonishment and ecstatic frame of mind is meant to come over fresh an vivid, an aim I feel unable to accomplish by traditional means.
